Finally, I found (well my machine shop found) the deeper valve seats I need to fix my head.
If you need valve seats; contact SBI. http://sbi-e-catalog.com/
Notice the SBI seats are much deeper than the OEM seats, and they aren't prone to falling out.
Here are the part numbers. The intake seats are the -2.
Cheers! These will work in the N16 engine too. The N18 uses different seats; Check with SBI if you have an N14.

Maybe an administrator will make this a sticky thread; it took me a while to find these. And if you buy them from a retailer, there's a huge markup!!!
